UGG has excellent materials and exquisite craftsmanship, and brings a full range of shoes, clothing, accessories, bags and household items all year round. This kind of sheepskin boots became popular among shearers from 19 10. The shearers took a small piece of sheepskin from the sheep, trimmed it and wrapped it around their feet. They call these shoes ugly boots.
During World War I, Australian pilots wrapped two sheepskins into shoes to keep out the cold, which gradually became popular in Australia. At that time, the Australian Air Force discovered the wonderful function of snow boots for the first time. Snow boots were made of wool inside and extremely soft tanned sheepskin outside. Therefore, snow boots were designated by the Australian Air Force to make special military boots, which were once called FUGG.
UGG's sole is made of EVA and TPR. TPR is made of military rubber, which has the best elasticity and anti-elasticity, but it is heavier. EVA is the mainstream sole material of UGGBOOTS, which is hard but light, so that sheepskin boots that seem clumsy are actually extremely light. UGG manufacturers have been constantly improving and updating the quality of EVA soles, adding more rubber components, so that EVA has stronger wear resistance and frost resistance while keeping light.
